VOLUNTEER

At Camp Burgess & Hayward, we are always working to better our camp and programs, and we would love your help! We have thoughtful, pointed projects for volunteer groups, both large and small, and are always looking for volunteers. For information regarding volunteer opportunities, or to discuss a project idea you may have, please call Katie O’Brien at (508) 428-2571 ext. 107 or email us.

ROAD CREW

The Burgess and Hayward Road Crew is a year-round volunteer opportunity offered to members of our camp community between the ages of 9-17. We strive to foster a greater sense of belonging, self-awareness and social responsibility by investing in service projects on camp and around Eastern Massachusetts. The Road Crew is a great way for our campers to go to new places and to see how good it feels to help others, or to come to camp and aid with a project that needs some attention.

These single-day volunteer opportunities are offered through our camp during the course of the school year, with each lasting 4-6 hours. We host 4 to 6 events per year, and the themes for our projects focus on the issues of hunger and homelessness, community-building, the environment, disaster relief, education, and other social concerns. Service hour documentation is provided at the conclusion of each event, and no long-term commitment is required.

THE FARM

The Farm at Camp Burgess is an educational, diversified organic operation that includes vegetable, herb, and egg production. Production continues year-round in an 800-square-foot heated greenhouse. With laying hens, five Nigerian dwarf goats, two rabbits, a barn cat, and a honeybee observation hive, there is always something to do!
